So, what was the source of the noise? Was it man-made electrical stuff in the JA direction, and the extra height put you above it, or was it atmospheric noise coming from the direction at high angle

Steve, I could be totally wrong, but I just took a look at Dunestar's web site and I didn't see anything that would lead me to believe that this product can be connected to an LPT port or is compati

Not an expert, but wouldn't a safer (maybe easier) alternative be to drill a hole for the pier pin and fix it with concrete epoxy? LXC has suggested doing that for base bolts, so I would think it wou

There's a "DX" setting for the TH-7 that moves the resonant frequencies closer to the CW end of the band. It's intended to be a compromise for CW operators who still want to have reasonably flat SWR

What kind of things can you do to detune the tower? Would you have to rely on observing changes in gain and/or F/B on the 40square or is there some way to measure the tower's resonant frequency? 73,
